I block it by default, so that wouldn't work. I would love to make web pages that I myself could read/see if they were made by someone else.

- seanwilson 9y agoFair enough. There's so much JS only functionality now though that I can't see how you can avoid it when developing a complex website. You find you can do the majority of things you want online with JS disabled?
- CrystalGamma 9y agoNot all websites are complex though. There should be little need to use scripts on a simple blog, for example, but I've seen way too many times that you'll end up with a blank screen without scripts, even though the text is already there in the DOM.
- unkown-unknowns 9y agoConsider a middle ground. Check out uMatrix, it allows you to block third-party js by default while allowing js from same site as well as making it simple to permanently allow selected domains for one or all others.
- CrystalGamma 9y agoI already use uMatrix, but why should I trust 1st party scripts. I regularly visit less-trusted sites or sites that I never visited before, and I wouldn't want them to be able to just execute Turing-complete scripts with access to potentially a lot of information on me (only just the browsing history would be a lot) on my machine or that can trivially fingerprint me.
